This post -- and another from a short while ago, "Gainskeeper or other
sales tracking programs" -- piqued my interest, plus I hate to see a
post go reply-less....

So, although I am an infrequent trader, I have been impressed by
BasisPro (from the Gainskeeper people) for income tax reporting
purposes, it helps a lot in certain straight-forward cases.

I have not used any such product as the OP refers to nor do I have
near-term plans to do so, but if I was going to, Gainskeeper is the
first product I would research, FWIW.

Hello all,

I've been a trader for quite some time now. My question is what
software or platform do you use to keep track of your trades, for P&L,
% return, annualized returns, etc, etc.

I used to use Microsoft Money and it did the job fairly well when I
was simply trading stocks... however now that I trade a good deal of
options and futures and forex, it is no longer a viable option. Does
anyone have any suggestions? Personal experience or otherwise? If
anyone simply uses their own personal excel setup i would be
interested in hearing how that gets set up also!

Any and all opinions greatly appreciated!

Thank you all!!
